Ba’da Fajr, my body shivers. I was cold but my body was hot. Sisy looked at me worriedly. He held my forehead and he looked very panicked.
“ You are sick, Ris. Your body is hot once.”He said as he walked away from me. Shortly afterwards he came with a small basin filled with towels and water. He compressed my head patiently.
“You look exhausted, Ris. You shouldn't be so fussy about your energy. I know you want to leave town soon, but don't be too tired times.” Sisy compresses me while still nagging.
I looked at his face with pity. There was a sudden regret coming. I knew all this time I was wrong to judge him. She is a kind and caring girl. I want to hold her hand and say I regret ignoring you. But all I'm shaving. I just followed the movement of her hand and let her tapered hand put a towel on my forehead, then slowly incised my foot.
“You don't have to go to college first. Let me take you to the doctor.” Say it while stopping the spying activity, then take the basin and out of the room. I'm up. I descended my couch and walked towards the bookshelf behind the door. I opened the Prophet's Method of Treatment which I bought from the mini gramedia one year ago about how the Prophet's instructions were to perform fever therapy. Narrated by the shahih Al Bukhari and the Muslims of Nafi, from ibn Umar that the Prophet said: Innamal humma ausiddatul humma min faihi jahnama Fa abruduuha bil maai
“ Truly the fever or the heavy fever came from the steam of the fire of Jahannam. Then cool it with water.”
In the description of this hadith I read that all forms of fever when body heat increases sharply, can be treated using water, through two ways: First from the outside is to compress it using cold water or ice with the aim of lowering the degree of heat. Both gulp water through the mouth as much as possible when you have a fever. It can help all organs of the body, especially the two kidneys to return to normal doing all the activities of the body.
Abu Nu’aim and other scholars recount a hadith from Anas :
Idza humma ahadukum. Fal yuroosa ‘alaihil maa ul bari du tsalaatsa la yaa lin minassahari
“ If any of you has a fever, let him pour cold water for three nights at dawn.”
This is very contrary to the doctor when I visit them when I have a fever. They'd forbid me to take a shower or if they'd let me take a bath, they'd suggest I take a bath with warm water.. But I got up, took a towel and headed for the bathroom. I flushed my body with cold water even though I knew my condition was impossible. The water in the bathtub felt like water in the refrigerator.
I dropped it several times on my head and body before I finally finished it after feeling like my body could adjust to the water temperature. I put on the clothes I brought from the room after I had dried my body. I used a towel to wrap my long hair and I rushed to the room.
“ Where are you from Risa ? “ Sisy looked at me in panic. ”Yeah, you took a shower ? He said you were sick. “ he approached me when he found out I had just entered my room with my hair wrapped in a towel.
“ God willing will be healed.”
“ Your body was very hot, right ? why take a shower ? you can get sick Ris.” Sisy said worriedly. He tried to pick up his cell and I saw him start calling somebody. I didn't know who, which I obviously heard him say my name and ended up quietly closing the conversation.
“ You can hold my head again Sy. Still hot not ?” he came closer and placed the back of his palm on my forehead.
“ Not too. How can I do ?’tanyanya.
“ This is His power.” I answered while drying my hair with a towel. Cold I feel bone-piercing, a few minutes I let my hair down just to get rid of wet.
“ You said you wanted to get out enjoying the fresh air this morning, Sy ! You can go out with Rosa and the others. I just wanted to be in my room this morning. “ Sisy looked at me in disbelief.
“You sure at home by yourself ?” tanyakanya.
“Yes, you go. “
“No Ris, I don't want to leave you alone.” Sisy looked out of the room, looking at the empty room, as Rosa and the others were already waiting in the courtyard.
“It's okay, you go to forget for a moment the problem.” My firmness.
He's still confused. A second later he tidied up his clothes and left me alone in the room.

After the death of Sisy, Rosa, and my four other friends, I opened my phone and I busied to open google. I'm looking for a synopsis of a movie that I liked but failed. The 2 GB internet package that I bought a week ago, has not been able to meet my demand. I finally gave up. I opened the gallery and I saw one photo at a time. I can imagine all the events when those photos were taken. One by one without being missed at all. I don't know how long I've spent, between believing and not, my ears caught a little knock on the door. I waited for a moment, maybe my friend was with me at the boarding house right now, but I was mistaken. The knocking at the door came to my ear again. I quickly put on my veil, and I quickly took a step towards the door.
“Assalamualaikum”
A handsome face appeared from behind the door, smilingly teasing me. I still couldn't believe my view. Kukucek several times and the young man before me was real.
“Please” The young man who lately filled my days in and without me telling him to sit down. I immediately walked to the chair and sat quietly.
“Sepi, where are friends ?” ask her while looking around the house.
“Run.” Answer's short.
“Adik not coming?” tanyanya full of search. “O yes, I know why Sister is not coming. Feeling said I'm coming, right ?”
“Up to you. I don't want to worry too much about what people think of me. “Sahutku sewot. Looking around, maybe something can get me out of my current situation. I don't know why I hate him. I don't know since when that hate came. What is clear is that at this time the feeling has discouraged me from making a sound to respond to it.
“Sadik, today I will say something important to you. For six months, you will carry out your duties in Timika. But before, let me reveal something important today.” He paused for a moment. He set my heart and looked at me and then looked down. I don't know what he's going to say.
“I love you, Dik”.
I can't believe what I just heard. For a moment my thoughts drifted, imagining the message that said “love you” last night, and it was confirmed this morning. I also don't know how I feel, which is clear, for a moment when he has expressed his feelings he said goodbye. Not one bit did he give me the opportunity to express my opinion and race.
I was still sitting in the living room when my six friends got home this morning. One by one they sat and looked at me in wonder.
“You're okay right ?” susi asked while looking at me in wonder. Not for a moment did he take his eyes off me.
“Iya Risa, are you feeling better already ? Why are you sitting here ?” keep Sisy.
I used my sweetest smile to my friends. “I'm fine.” I said as I stood up and walked towards the room regardless of the confusion.
“Risa, let's answer. Don't make us wonder, what made you sit here ? insist Sisy. I didn't say anything.I took my foot to my room. I lay my body down slowly. There was a happy who infiltrated gently into the recesses of my heart, but back my mind remembers the events last night, when two messengers Irawan Adityawarman proposed to me. My head grew dizzy solving the two problems that were approaching my life at about the same time.
One side of my heart said it was better to focus on Seno but the other side advised me to follow the advice of two fellow Irawan to do the rest. There is no reason for me to do so because it is very clear that Irawan is not someone I know. He's a mysterious figure that I've never seen at all. As for Seno, I talked to him several times and a little bit I already knew how he was.
Two sides of my heart are still fighting, between carrying out my palace and directly choosing Seno my hero of salvation while in Kemanukan.

Sisy sat on my couch and looked at me curiously. His hands began to massage my feet and his eyes were still fixed looking at my face as if he wanted to say something.
“What's Sy ? “ I tried to open a conversation. Sisy turned her face away and slowly she looked back at me.
“ I just heard from Santi if it turns out there is a volunteer in Kemanukan who is in love with you. “ he said slowly.
“Who Sy ? “
“She Suseno right ? “ asked Sisy while stopping her massage. I don't know why he seems so upset.
“ No, Sisy. You . . . “ I can't continue my sentence because I see Sisy's tears starting to flow down her cheeks. Curiosity began to appear watching Sisy move away from me.
“ Don't lie to me Risa, I know from my father's friend that Seno loves you. He won the scramble that occurred between him and his subordinates. “ snapped.
“ What do you mean ? “ my voice slightly raised to accept Sisy's unusual snaps.
“ Listen Marissa, among the soldiers who volunteered in Kemanukan yesterday, there are men and commanders who fell in love with you. The subordinates numbered three and the superior of one man named Seno. They fought over you at the base, almost clashing back then, but it was all over when Seno said he didn't want anyone else to love Marissa but him. No one dared to come forward to love you except Seno because they were disinclined by the boss. Are you satisfied ? “
I can't believe my hearing today. If that's true why is Sisy angry ? is there one of them who loves him ? No, “my inner began to fight. I saw Sisy start packing her clothes and I didn't know where she was going. Before I asked, he said that he wanted to move rooms with Rosa, fill Nur's place a month ago moved out of town. I couldn't resist, accepting the fact of living in my own room. I just let him do whatever he wants. Right now I want to be vigilant. I don't know which friend I can take to talk about a secret, which I know, all support Sisy and I'm cornered.
